ABAKA helps with these decisions, deepens our understanding of complicated processes and allows us to gain better control of our money, all within our day-to-day lives,”company founder and CEO Fahd Rachidy said in a statement.

Anthemis Group’s partner Tom Ryan also commented the investment. “A financially secure employee makes for a contented employer and ultimately a successful work environment,” he said. “The team at ABAKA has found an innovative way to take the pain out of a massive responsibility for those in today’s workforce. We are excited to support ABAKA as they develop their solution.”

The seamless integration of machine learning and pensions is the next step in helping businesses become smarter and empower individuals to make intelligent decisions about the future of their money. We’re proud to support ABAKA on their journey as they weave financial wellbeing into the fabric of the business community.”
